The development of Xu Qian’s case

On November 4, 2007, after "Miss Tourism of the World" Xu Qian was mysteriously murdered at the Li Wang Hotel, when Wei Lei surrendered to the local police, the first thing he said was "I killed my daughter." friend". After on-site investigation, the police determined that he had indeed had sexual intercourse with Wei Lei, who voluntarily surrendered before he was killed, and that the cause of his death was mechanical asphyxiation.

But why did Wei Lei kill the beautiful supermodel with whom he had a night of passion? What unknown motive did he have for committing the crime? This issue has always troubled the relevant investigators from the time the case occurred to the conclusion of the first-instance verdict a year later. When the motive for the murder cannot be ascertained, could he have committed the murder unconsciously due to mental illness?

Wei Minggang is Wei Lei’s father. After the incident, he rushed to Lijiang quickly. When questioned by the police, he said: His son graduated from Qingdao Senior Vocational High School in 2001 and worked at Qingdao Yijia World Trade Property Center for nearly five years. After resigning in December 2006, he enrolled in Ye Da University. At the same time, he found a job selling medical equipment in July 2007. My son has always been obedient. When he was in school, he rarely got into fights. When he was in vocational high school, he even received some rewards from the school.

When asked whether his son suffered from mental illness, Wei Minggang said: When his son Wei Lei was more than one year old, he rolled off the bed and injured his head. He went to the hospital for a X-ray examination. The doctor said that there was intracranial Leaving bruises. "Since then, he has often suffered from epilepsy. He often had epileptic seizures before he was 11 years old, but he has not had any since." But later, he changed his story and said, "In the past few years, I have also seen him having epileptic seizures while sleeping... …When he had an epilepsy, he would gnash his teeth, scream, and sweat all over his body.”

According to Wei Minggang, Wei Lei was treated in many hospitals in Qingdao when he suffered from epilepsy. The investigators rushed to Qingdao to investigate and verify one by one. One hospital confirmed that Wei Lei had been treated for purulent tonsillitis and convulsions when he was ten years old. Several other hospitals said they could not find any hospitalization and treatment records for Wei Lei.

In order to excuse his son, Wei Minggang also emphasized that although he and his parents are normal, his younger brother, aunt and uncle are all mentally ill. To this day, his younger brother is still living in Qingdao Mental Hospital.

In order to verify this issue, the case-handling agency commissioned a professional forensic appraisal agency to conduct a forensic medical appraisal of Wei Lei. The appraisal report made in July 2008 stated that Wei Lei's mental condition was normal when he was examined, and he was "well-mannered and had a calm expression." However, his words revealed his self-blame and repentance for killing Xu Qian. No obstacles in perception and thinking were found, and no symptoms of mental illness such as hallucinations and delusions were found. He also described the relationship between him and Xu Qian in great detail. emotional entanglements and details of the crime.

The conclusion of the appraisal is: Throughout the entire crime process, although Wei Lei had no clear motive or premeditation for killing Xu Qian, his intention to commit the crime was intrinsically linked to a series of psychological states before committing the crime. When committing the crime, Wei Lei was in a "passionate state" and his ability to control his behavior was weakened, but it was not a psychotic disorder. Therefore, it is determined that Wei Lei is not mentally ill and has the ability to take responsibility for his crimes.

Raising money to atone for his son’s sin, the defendant’s family’s first payment of compensation has been paid to the court

According to the “Criminal Accidental Civil Rights” issued by the Lijiang Intermediate People’s Court on December 3, 2008 According to the "Mediation Letter", defendant Wei Lei's parents promised to pay a total of 400,000 yuan in compensation to Xu Qian. Among them, 100,000 will be paid on December 25 and 26 each, and the other half will be paid in one lump sum before May 31, 2009.

According to lawyer Zhao Yuexiao, the attorney of Xu Qian’s parents, Xu Qian is the only daughter of the Xu family. Xu Guangli and his wife loved her like a treasure and spent their whole life on their daughter. After Xu Qian was mysteriously killed in Lijiang, the whole world of the couple almost collapsed. "Her mother called me today. She kept crying and couldn't make a sound."

For the defendant Wei Lei's true feelings Regarding the motive for the crime and the overwhelming rumors and speculation on the Internet, Lawyer Zhao cautiously stated that he was not sure whether it was a "rape and murder" because there was indeed no relevant evidence to support it. "But I dare to say that he definitely revolted at the sight of sex and showed his evil side. The "court investigation" part of the judgment did include the statement of "suicide by appointment" confessed by Wei Lei. However, this article did not become the reason why Wei Lei was accused. The conditions for a suspended death sentence. At first, Xu Qian's parents also demanded the death penalty, but they were very kind and later did not insist on this. They felt that Wei Lei was accepting the trial. He seemed very calm at the time, but no matter how serious the crime he committed, his parents were innocent."

"Wei Lei's family is actively raising funds, and currently, the first payment has been made. Arrive at the court." Attorney Zhao Yuexiao told this reporter.
